Although given the hassle of test driving a car, can you blame them?
I tried to test drive an F150 FX4 once, dude wouldn’t shut up and let me test drive it despite me telling him multiple times that I’d done my research, I just want to see how it drives. Then said he could only let me drive a different trim, insistent that it was just as good.
45 goddamn minutes wasted and I didn’t even get to drive the F150 I actually wanted to try. Hell I even pulled up in a older F150 FX4.
Ironically, my Mercedes experience was the exact opposite. No nonsense at all, they just fetched me the keys.
But after my first experience I didn’t go test drive anything for a really long time.
